Tools & shop safety
Learn how technicians work carefully and confidently at the bench.
Repair Camp
Look inside the instrument. Discover how it works.
A hands-on summer experience where developing musicians explore the technician's bench, learn to diagnose common problems, and see their instruments in a new way.

Learn by doing
A new perspective on the instrument you play.
Repair Camp brings musicians beyond notes and fingerings to explore the systems that make their instruments work.
In a small-group setting, I guide students through safe, practical activities that connect musical symptoms with mechanical causes.
At the bench
What we explore together.
How instruments work
Explore the systems that allow an instrument to respond and resonate.
Diagnosis & leak detection
Practice finding common issues and understanding what they affect.
Practical bench experience
Turn new knowledge into hands-on problem-solving.
More than a workshop
Build skills, confidence, and respect for the craft.
Understanding how an instrument works can make a student a more attentive player and a better caretaker of the tool they rely on.
Repair Camp is designed to make technical learning approachable, memorable, and connected to the music students already love.
